Yep, great Broadcom Brahma quad core processor ..... Now if Vu can get their drivers to work

**daz450** · 07-06-16, 21:23

When will WOS be getting these in ?

If its anything like the Vu+ Solo 4K, won't be till September/October at the earliest. But thats just guess work. Hopefully Vu+ will announce something soon.

Going to be over priced and crippled by bad support from VU+

Yes I have to say that My solo4k is the least favourite, and slowest of my VU+ boxes.

The Vu+ Ultimo 4K receiver looks nice.

Which is kind of surprising as the Broadcom chip is real smart and fast ....... as a 1080P box it should be really hot, especially with the transcoding availability (Yes, I know its directed at the 2160 market)
Any feelings as to why its slower? fbc tuners, 2160 processing?

anybody interested in prices?
they said: starting at 599€ for the ultimo 4k.

I guess not surprised, as Vu+ obviously think they have a killer product with 4K/fbc tuners, which is why I was so interested in DaMacfunkin,s comments ....
Xtrend appear to be going with the Broadcom chip, but no fbc tuner etc - so will be interesting to see what Gigablue announce. I would love Edision to get into this E3/4K marketspace as they could offer more capabilities and perhaps even decent service compared to the Korean outfits.

i don't think people will be rushing to buy. as the solo4k has been a bit of a disappointment. unless major update to drivers is sorted

Well maybe

On this WEB site and one other there has been some harsh comments, on others you don't see it - they just seem to love VU+ whatever they dump on them

I don't use the fbc tuners, I use bello 1080 skin, nfs installed and have a couple of sundtek tuners installed and that's it - reflashing, software update or just enigma2 restart takes at least twice as long as solo2, I think the amount of patches to make it 'fit' weighs it down.

**DaMacFunkin** · 08-06-16, 15:49

I certainly won't be buying one unless 24hz works properly, if it does then I may have an ultiomo.
